"Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?! Bunnies! Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be bunnies!" —Anya, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Once More with Feeling"

Tropes also associated with rabbits, but not exclusive to them:

• Herbivores Are Friendly: Rabbits tend to be depicted as friendly, nice or good.
• Improbable Species Compatibility: Rabbits and hares have bred and interbred so much in fiction that they've more or less become one species.
